I’d like to start with a humble apology. I really haven’t posted much in the last month. There are many excuses I could make. Instead I’ll simply say that I wanted to enjoy a month-long trip in Europe; without feeling pressure to do work.

This leads us to the topic for today’s article…

Much has been said about the concept of the Internet Lifestyle. For some, it seems like a dream come true. With a laptop and a wireless connection you can work from any spot in the world. Take a look at any advertisement for a ‘home based business’ product. Odds are you’ll see shots of ordinary folks “working” while living in a warm, tropical paradise.

With all that said, I think there’s a dark side to this lifestyle. What’s not talked about are the many hassles that occur while running a business out of a backpack.

I’ve traveled for about 11 months in the last two years. That’s 46% of my time working while being on the road. During this time I’ve learned that are certain negatives to this lifestyle: [click to continue…]

The fun has to end sometime. I had a great two weeks traveling through Belize. But now it’s time to buckle down and get some work done.

For those of you who’ve read my posts in the last few weeks, Ryan is the “apprentice” I picked for my case study to improve traffic to a blog. The main reason I selected Ryan was because he has LOTS of passion for his niche. As you’ll see in the following article…

Have you ever been to a retirement party? Not to sound cliché, but they’re usually thrown for people in their sixties who want to play golf every day or buy a condo at the beach now that their working days are over. I’m not really big on golf and I already live at the beach, but having the chance to take it easy for awhile and do something I’ve always wanted to do is definitely appealing. I recently took a 7-month trip through Europe for that reason.

We live in a society where there’s a strong push toward education. From four years of age all the way to college and beyond, we’re expected to focus on one major goal…get a diploma and prepare yourself for the “real world.”

I feel a diploma is important for getting a job in the formal, business world. But does it really matter when it comes to Internet Marketing?
